As soon as they parted ways with Coach Park and the "website" showed no logo for EGTL on, it was quite clear that EGTL was not going to feature in the next ProLeague thus no need for a team house. Only thing is, i wonder if EG will keep there vast roster of Koreans. Jaedong was only a 1 year contract last October? So will Jaedong be going back to Team8 (WinAir now or whatever xD) will they cut a few of there Koreans? JYP aLive Oz Revival all not showing mega results lately. Will be interesting next month  I don't know if you can call it "not showing mega results" unless your lately is "within the last two months" - don't forget Alive is basically qualified for Blizzcon and Revival has a decent shot still. Really sad that this is happening - we already knew EGTL was going to stop doing proleague, but it almost seems like the death of team houses. Without a strong team feeling/narrative, SC2 is just a bunch of individuals playing a game for money (I know that's already what it is but it doesn't feel that way yet). | ||

All hail Riot, our new eSports overlords. Doin everything right where Blizzard are doing everything wrong. Considering how many KeSPA teams are left? Writing is on the wall man and we'll continue to have a lot of SC2 tournaments regardless. More than enough. You could literally watch the WCS all day, which is overload.

Zenio has preferred to live at home ever since Park's departure some months ago. Snute right now is on a European trip where he played ATC, DH Bucharest, Millenium Finals, and a Norwegian tournament. He will go to IEM New York and from there go back to Korea for another month or so, where he will be staying with CJ under the watchful eye of our good friend Coach Park. Players be going everywhere. Whatever works for them I guess since the onus is on individual accomplishment. | ||

I don't necessarily think this closure is a bad thing exactly. It's not exactly good, but it could also be worse. With Taeja and Hero playing WCS NA, maybe it's a good time to think about a place in the US for a couple months, give it a feel. Realistically there are no longer any liquid players in WCS KR, and if there is some sort of region locking intended for next season of WCS, maybe a US and an EU team house or apartment or something might be a reasonable (or I guess even necessary, depending on the rules) experiment. I'm actually dreaming a bit now, but could you imagine region locks, but then in the EU and NA there are a couple "Little Korea"s that pop up for the gamers from Korea that are participating in the WCS of those regions? I think it'd be a really cool experiment, and would shake everything way the fugg up. | ||

Everyone has to pay for games. PC bangs have to pay for LoL and SC2 so you have no idea what you are talking about. The only free thing that exists is the starter edition that randomly changes what race you can play every week. Also SC2 originally started out with Korean battle.net currency that you could use to rent SC2 for a limited amount of time instead of having to buy the full game. If there really is no pay wall now then the game must suck more than anyone could imagine, why aren't people willing to play it even if it is 100% free for both gamers and PC bangs? Think about what you are saying. Anyway don't be fooled by this guys Korean tag on his name, it means nothing. For all we know he is some random guy in Pakistan roleplaying as a Korean historian. | ||

I don't think anyone is denying there's a rough patch right now, but lord knows grabbing the pickets and taking to the streets saying repent ye sins isn't gonna help either. A lot of these events are all related to/caused by the same thing, the news just breaks at different times | ||
